Apollo XIII

Apollo 13 SIGNED and Space Flown American Flag, Signed by the Three Astronauts on Official NASA Certificate

Apollo 13 American Flag that accompanied the astronauts on their mission, 4" x 5.5". The flag was affixed to an official NASA certificate with the Apollo 13 printed insignia. Signed by the three astronauts, Jim Lovell "Jim Lovell", Jack Swigert "Jack Swigert", and Fred Haise, "Fred Haise".

The Logo certificate states "This Flag Was on Board Apollo XIII During Its flight And Emergency Return To Earth/APOLLO XIII/April 11-17, 1970. The flag remained in the Jack Swigert's estate until its consignment. This piece will be accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity from Virginia Swigert, sister of Jack Swigert.

The near disastrous Apollo 13 mission to the moon was aborted after an oxygen tank exploded, though each of the astronauts returned safely to earth. Scarce, with a phenomenal presentation and superb provenance.
